Morison, S. M. Born in Charleston, South Carolina, July 16, 1840. Emigrated to
California, via Panama, in 1850. After spending about two months in San
Francisco he went to the mines on Mokelumne river, where he remained until 1854,
with the exception of one year, which he spent in school at Stockton and one
term at Mokelumne Hill. In 1854 he returned to San Francisco and attended an
institution of learning until 1857, when he came to this county, and in 1861
settled on his present place, comprising one hundred and fifty-six acres. He
also owns one hundred and sixteen acres about one mile south from Petaluma.
